Malaysia Airlines website targeted by hacker group 'Cyber Caliphate'

A
group calling itself "Official Cyber Caliphate" said it hacked on
Monday the official website of national carrier Malaysia Airlines (MAS), but
the airline said its data servers remained intact and passenger bookings were
not affected.

The
website, www.malaysiaairlines.com, showed a photograph of a lizard in a top
hat, monocle and tuxedo, surrounded by the messages '404 - Plane Not Found' and
'Hacked by Lizard Squad - Official Cyber Caliphate'. A rap song could be heard.

In
a statement, MAS said the website was not hacked, but that users were
redirected to a hacker website. It said the official site would be back up
within 22 hours.
